Of Interest to Smokers.

Smokers will not believe what veteran tobacco dealer told me the other day, and that was that not one of them could tell, by the sense of taste, unaided by that of sight, when cigar or pipeful of tobacco was drawing nicely or was entirely out. In other words, g smoker, by closing his eyes, could not tell whether his cigar was lighted or not. This fact, incredi- ble at first thought, he said, was brought to his immediate notice by watching a blind man, who was a great smoker, smoke, or at least attempt to smoke, his pipe. The blind smoker never knew when his pipe was lighted until he placed his finger over the bowl and felt the heat of the burning tobacco. Many times he puffed away at the pipe, filled, of course, with tobacco, enjoying It apparently as we'll as when emitting puffs of smoke, al though not the trace of a fire was to be found in the bowl, and not a particle of smoke either entered his mouth or was expelled there from. If any one doubts the cor rectnesss of this assertion let him try to light cigar or pipe while his eyes are blindfolded.- Chicago Journal

LEE RENFRO.
Another One of the Ike ClantOn
 Gang Bites the Dust.

From the Apache County Critic of July Both we obtain the follow ing account of the killing of an other one of the rustlers who have infested the borders of Graham and Apache counties. The last one to go was Lee Renfro. He was killed in the W hlte mountains in this county on the Sth day of July last. The following partic- ulars are furnished by the Critics Springerville correspondent:
 Renfro, with some of his kin dred spirits Tn crime, was camped in a canyon, opening out on the Rio Bonito, in the mountains on the Apache Indian reservation, on the Sth day of this month. On this same date secret service of fcer, accompanied by three men furnished him by the agent of the San Carlos Indians, by singular chance, happened to be hunting for stolen cattle belonging to the San Carlos Agency, in the neigh borhood where Renfro and his party were camped. As the officer and party were riding across a plateau they observed a man come out of a canyon about one hundred and fifty yards distant, on foot and in his shirt-sleeves. The officer said to two of his men, You fel- lows ride over to that man and tell him that we are from the southern country and if possible get him to come over here as I want to ques- ton him about the trails" The two men rode over to the man in his shirt t-sleeves and conversing with him a few moments, they to- gether returned to where they had left the officer and his remaining companion, who in the mean time had dismounted and were pretend ing to be fixing their saddles. When the approaching party were within ten or fifteen paces, the se- cret service officer, who had his horse between him and the ap- preaching party. recognized Ken fro. He quickly stepped in front of his horse and called out: "Lee Renfro, throw up your handsw re- beating the order twice. Renfro instead of obeying the command attempted to pull his six-sbooter, when the officer fired shooting him through the upper part of the heart and left lung. Renfro fell; the officer ran up to him and Ren- fro calling him by name asked:
 Did you shoot me for money?"
 The officer replied: No, I shot you because you were resisting ar rest"
 Renfro then said: |" l suppose it is all up with me-" and asked the officer to take hls watch and other effects he had on his person and send them to his brother, in Cow Boy, Texas, and without speaking another word breathed his last.
 This man Renfro was an abject and servile tool of Ike Clanton, who met the same fate but a few weeks before, and they both oc- cupy untimely graves within twenty miles of each other in the wilds of the White mountains.

A WORD TO J. G. M.


 EDITOR CITIzEN:-As a citizen and resident of Graham county, where your valuable journal is largely patronizrd and appreciated, I ask the priviledge of replying to the Stars article of this date where in over the signature of"J. G. NJ" a silly attempt by the editor of the Star Is made to criticise Hon. Geo. H. Stevens. This evidently has been done to dull the edge, if such a thing be possible, of the sharp and pungent criticisms of the CLARION on this Judas Iscariot of the Arizona der ocracy. But at the same time this Judas did not dare make personal attack on the character of Mir. Stevens, so by in uendo and threats under cover of a purported Clifton communica- ton, he vents his little spleen in intimating what he would like to do. And again, the article in ques- ton is antedated. The CLARION was not issued till the 27th, where as said communication bears date

they are not wanted.

A rumor is circulated and given for
what it is worth that New Ulm proposes
to have present next August, the four
friendly Indians who did so much dur
ing the outbreak of '62 to save the
whites. One of the four gave his own
ponies to save as many white women,
without ever receiving cent Of remu-
neration. The Indians are living in
north Dakota at present, and the agent
in charge has signifed his willingness
to their coming, provided their expens-
es are paid, and the department. at
Washington gives its consent. It would
also add no small degree of zest and
popular enthusiasm to the affair if four

around New Ulm on August 23d, 1862,
could be induced to come to the cele-
bration and volunteer to be hung for
the ediication Of the survivors of their
atrocities SLEEPY EYE HERALD.
No one here knows anything about
these four friendly Indians. The exc
cutive committee of the coming celebra-
ton has decided not to invite any Indi-
ans. This is to be white mems cele-
bration.

TOWN Talk.
Chas. Gebser, teacher Of the TURNER
Elm. has been granted q vacation Of four
weeks. He will attend the funniest at
Wasau, Wis. and visit several eastern
points during the month.
In recent message to the council
the Mayor recommended that $4,000 Of
the license money be used as : sinking
fund for the purpose Of paying the
bonds OF the city when they fall due.
The suggestion is very good one and
worthy of being acted upon.
In my daily strolls around the city 4
notice that there is scarcity Of dwell.
ing houses offered for rent. It would
surely pay some of our capitalists to
erect Is to 20cottages. to cost from 1000
to 1900 dollars each. These could read
lily be rented at from $13 to SIS per
month.
A large number of citizens do not
seem to know that the salaries of teach.
ers in the public schools are graded &C.
cording to the abilities of the teacher
and the amount Of work required Of them.
Formerly all were paid alike, but under
the new system salaries range from
$3.50 to $500 per annum.
In one of his messages to the council
the Mayor recommended that butchers
be licensed. If / am correctly informed
this is done in large number of cities,
and usually at the request of the butch
ers themselves. Such q system of Ii.
cense works well as it gives the santa
ry board power over butchers which
they do not now possess.
Mr.. Jos. Skinner, father of our repre-
sentative, has in his possession pass
given him by Gen. r. E. Lee, emitting
Mr.. Skinner to pass the Union lines, for
Q short time, during the Mexican war.
The fact that the pass was written by
Gen. Lee instead of the adiutant as is
usually the case, makes it all the more
valuable.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. VIM.
Hummel was elected a member of the
school board as q kicker against the
supposed extravaganza of that body.
At the annual school-meeting Mr.. Hum.
mel recalled that fact and stated to
some who Were inclined to doubt the
ability of the board to manage the fl.
nancial part of their duties, that our
schools were managed as economically
as possible. He said that although we
paid good salaries, we did not pay any
too much and that If this district was
not inclined to pay our teachers their
present salaries, we should be obliged
to look for others, as the.teachers of our
schools could find more lucrative posi-
tions in a good many other schools.

Members of Co. A tell me that if the
boys Of the second regiment could de-
eide where the next encampment is to
be held, the almost unanimous choice
would be New Ulm. All Of the old

campments st New Ulm have been the
best and that the sanitary condition Of
the camps were never better than here.
